Coworkers were awesome, management a mess
Health Care Aide (Former Employee) – Grenfell, SK – 29 March 2019
SHA is top heavy with management who do not know the day to day job their employees do. My coworkers were awesome and the pay and benefits are good. If you can get past management that is always changing and the politics of working in a government run organization it’s good...
Pros
Wage and benefit
Cons
Poor management
Productive and fun place to work

Environmental Services Worker (Former Employee) – Saskatoon, SK – 13 January 2019
Saskatoon Health Region is a good place to work providing job security and plenty of room for advancement.
With a gym in the work place it makes that much better especially in winter time

It has been a great learning experience that I learnt from almost all benches. People are helpful but critical. Small lab and hospital but lots of interactions with patients, nurses, and doctors.

Assessor Coordinator (Current Employee) – Regina, SK – 11 November 2018
I enjoy my job. Great colleagues. The health region is undergoing several changes with the goal of providing even better patient care. Recently all health regions in Sask have come together to form the Saskatchewan Heath Authority.
Excellant work environment
3rd Class Power Engineer (Former Employee) – Saskatoon, SK – 10 November 2018
Enjoyed the people I worked with there. Was a challenge to follow through with what I had to for each job, which I loved. Really going to miss working there
Pros
Very good wages
Cons
Difficult shifts
very rewarding work
Home Health Aide (Former Employee) – Kipling, SK – 7 November 2018
A typical day was doing most personal care for the clients. It taught me time-management and team working skills. We tried to keep the atmosphere calm and peaceful. The hardest part of the job was saying good-bye to the very special people we looked after. The Most enjoyable part was watching their eyes light up when they saw you.
Overall I would go back
Hospital Unit Clerk (Current Employee) – Regina, SK – 30 October 2018
I worked with a great team on my unit, it was a small unit we had a great team work thing going. I worked as a Unit Clerk, I learned how to be apart of a team
Pros
People were nice
Hypocritical, negative, lies
Nurse (LPN) (Former Employee) – Regina, SK – 29 October 2018
Lot's of beautiful posters talking about how much care about staff but in my opinion it's punitive, regressive, top-down, unappreciative, unsafe, not evidenced-based, and overall toxic. One of the worst nursing environments I've worked in. To add insult to injury the extended care program started drop-down rotating rosters. Expected to work all lines: days, evenings, nights switching every three weeks. There is little respect for work-life balance or the other life commitments staff have: children, other businesses, etc. Working relief is hard for most since have to be available to be pre-booked every 72 hrs. To get approved for leaves, vacations, etc is challenging and often leads to conflict. Resistant to accommodate disabled staff. Promotes staff conflict by not dealing with issues at the lowest level and encouraging staff to write each other up. I do not feel they adhere to most of their Accreditation Standards. They have written policies but most managers do not follow them. The ones that try to be progressive usually leave. I went through 7 managers in about 10 yrs. The turnover is very high. They often do not replace staff even though workloads are high with normal staffing levels. Workplace injuries are high as is the amount of violence that management do not deal with and most often blame staff for their approach. The training is ineffective. Many staff complain about reprisal for reporting health and safety concerns. The Occupational Health Committee does not address most incidents. I could write a lot more. The only positive I can think of it's in the Wascana Park more... grounds. But you will feel you need to get out there on your breaks....if you feel you can safely take one. Your union
executive representation is poor too which is one big reason this employer likely is so negative. they are not held accountable. Again, the above are all my subjective opinion and observations. Feel free to ask any other healthcare worker in direct patient care areas. less

Overall Great Place to Work
CONTINUING CARE ASSISTANT (Current Employee) – Maple Creek, SK – 24 September 2018
I enjoyed the job itself, but however some employees make working difficult. The employer and managers are great to work with within the home care division. I did enjoy the home care aspect as you get to be out in the community helping individuals stay at home longer, and help to keep them safe in their own homes. Hardest part of this job for myself is the fact that clients do pass away and makes it difficult at times to continue on working the next day and not being able to see them anymore.
Pros
Independent work available
Cons
Variation of Hours
If you enjoy working with people and providing care and customer service then this line of work is for you
CONTINUING CARE ASSISTANT (Current Employee) – Swift Current, SK – 18 September 2018
Shift work, working with the elderly doing personal care, meal preparation and serving. Job is very physically demanding. Staff are good to work with. Working with the elderly is endearing as you get to catch a glimpse of the people they once were and where theyve come from.
Long term employee discarded

Needs work
Licensed Practical Nurse (Current Employee) – Regina, SK – 22 August 2018
Needs help. There's needs to be significant change here, it is not client centered care. Not sure amalgamation helped or not yet. There needs to be more focus on employee happiness
